It’s no secret that Love Island contestants are very well connected these days, with new Islanders usually having at least one previous show star in their book of contacts (or Instagram followers list because, well, it’s not the 90s anymore).
Take Love Island 2025’s Conor Phillips, he’s entering the villa on Monday night and has just revealed that he sought out some advice from a Love Island winner.
The Irish rugby star has played with Love Island 2019 winner Greg O’Shea, who won series five with Amber Gill, and it seems he shared some very wise words.
‘I spoke to Greg and he just said, “Be yourself. It's a really, really, really cool experience that not many people get, so enjoy it and take it day by day. And if you be yourself, you can't really go too far out.”
‘He was like, “My advice might be a bit different because I won.”
